Just got hold of a '97 Festiva and one of the spark plug leads is a bit dodgy. Yesterday, I went to the local dealership to try and buy a new one and was told it would be about $40 if they had one.......$40 seems a bit rich for one lead
 : Can I get them from Supercheap or AutoPro etc ??? Sorry about the dumb question - I usually do my own work on my daily driver - it's a '77 mini so I don't trust the mechanics with it. I've rebuilt motors, gearboxes and so on, but I know very little about these 'new fangled computerised' cars. Cheers Rod |

You would pick up the whole set for $40 at supercheap.
If it were me i would replace the lot for piece of mind as you probably don't know how old they are. |

Try KIA as the Festiva is a KIA clone...

Thanks for the replies - new set of leads from AutoPro and it's just like a brand new engine.
Cheers |

Dont forget the dizzy cap and rotor, if the leads needed replacing, so would those.
